About this facility

Mission: from website: MISSION STATEMENT Through education and public service we seek to support the well being of Native American children and to raise public awareness of the stereotyping, discrimination, racism and other unique situations facing all Native Americans. A 501 C3 nonprofit charitable organization --- Changing Winds is so grateful for your help and strives to honor your trust by making sure the children benefit from every dollar you send. Your donations are never used for salaries and very little is used for administration such as shipping and mailing. This year we have received large quantities of excellent quality goods including beds, bureaus, linens, clothing and more. It costs us $3,000 to send out $20,000 worth of goods, so your donations actually appreciate in value in terms of dollars spent for goods received on the reservations. And as you know, we make it easy for you to reach out to the children in the way that suits you best. If you have other ideas about how you'd like to help, please contact us at CWAdvocacyCenter @aol.com or call 203-256-9720.
